Commencement Speaker 2026
DCS alumna Carli Pinner will be the guest speaker for the Class of 2026 commencement ceremony.

After graduating, she returned to her hometown and began her public service career with Delaware County in accounting and finance.
In 2025, she challenged herself once again by launching a campaign for Delaware County Treasurer. Her hard work, professionalism, and perseverance—combined with the unwavering support of her community—led to her election as Delaware County Treasurer.
Carli has also continued her passion for dance with Catskill Dance Moves in Walton, where she can often be found on stage or behind the scenes at performances. She currently resides in Downsville with her family.
